'I got flowers today'

I Got Flowers Today.....

 

I got flowers today... It wasn't my birthday or any other special day.

We had our first argument last night, and he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me. I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said...because he sent me flowers today.

I got flowers today... It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day. Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me. It seemed like a nightmare. I couldn't believe it was real. I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over. I know he must be sorry, Because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today... It wasn't a celebration or any other special day. Last night, he beat me up again. And it was much worse than other times. If I leave him, what will I do? How will I take care of the kids? What about money? I'm afraid of him and scared to leave. But I know he must be sorry, Because he sent me flowers today. I got flowers today... Lots of them...Today was very special. It was the day of my funeral. Last night he finally killed me. He beat me to death. If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him, I would not have gotten flowers today. Real man don't hit their partner...

 

Stop Domestic Violence !!

What a powerful post Brian. Of course I thought it was about you, which is why it was so brilliant, it literally drew me in to the narrative... and it's a subject that needs to come out of the shadows.

Heartbreaking. My sweet sister put up with psychological and physical abuse from her husband for years. After the kids left home, she divorced him only to die of cancer within a year. Heartbreaking. I miss her every day. Real men don't abuse their partner.

Here's something most of you don't know about me

 

I was once engaged. Had a fiancé. Had a 2014 car in 2013. Had my own house, was a manager of a gas station. Was s LMT on the side. I was with the love of my life. He was on bipolar And doing better, we agreed to take him off his meds. Worst mistake ever. After two years of a loving, happy man. Two days after my 21st birthday the abuse started; slaps here and there I left a couple of times but always came back. The end of us; his birthday he got drunk and went crazy the next morning I woke up and he started pushing me around his my car keys and cell phone in his safe, killed my pet chameleons and then as I packed my bags he started hitting me. I was stabbed three times then beat unconscious and woke up in the ICU.

 

I never got answers or clarity. I never got an apology. I wanted this chapter to be over so in 2014 I moved back to Cleveland-- to hide from him. I was wanted by MA for not showing up to his court date, they dropped all charges and I went back recently to clear my name and tell them why I left the state. They let it all go thank god.

 

This is why so many of you view me as an old soul I once had everything I ever wanted. It was all ripped away. I don't live in the past any more. I live for now. I don't let anyone tell me no, stop me or hold me back. I have dreams for two people inside of just one human body. There are people who need me to walk by them on the street and smile at them. The world needs me.

Yikes! What a scary situation! Was law enforcement involved? At least in California (I don't know about other states), health care professionals are required by law to report suspicious injuries (stab wounds, bullet wounds, etc.). I hope that man's locked up. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It sure sounds as if you've had a rough life....
